With the plethora of options available for families seeking support for their loved ones, choosing the right home care provider can feel like a daunting task. In this blog, we’ll shine a light on our approach at Home Instead and what distinguishes us in the eyes of the families across Chesterfield and Dronfield who choose us to support their loved ones. Our ethos is simple yet powerful: we believe in personalised care that feels like family, and everything we do stems from that core belief.
At Home Instead Chesterfield we are rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. We recognise that each person we care for is an individual with unique needs, preferences, and stories. This understanding is the bedrock of our care philosophy, to focus on creating a tailored care plan for each and every client. We don’t believe in the one-size-fits-all model; instead, our Care Professionals take the time to get to know clients on a personal level, building a care plan that is as unique as they are.
In a world where many care providers have to watch the clock, we pride ourselves on giving time back to our clients. Our visits are never rushed; they’re always a minimum of one hour long because we understand the importance of providing care that does not compromise on quality. This time allows us to fulfil our duties without a rush, and it also lets us sit and chat, share a cuppa, or just be there – a small gesture that means so much.
Our Care Professionals are the heart and soul of our service. They are handpicked for their empathy, reliability, and passion for making a difference in the lives of others. Furthermore, we invest heavily in their training and development to ensure they can provide outstanding care. This not only includes practical skills but also understanding how to create meaningful connections with the people they support.
We know that seeing a familiar face can make all the difference, which is why we emphasise the continuity of care. Having the same Care Professional visit your loved one not only fosters trust and friendship but also ensures a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ evolving needs. It’s this kind of stability that can transform care from a service into a relationship.
Many of our Home Instead team are local and know the Chesterfield area well, and are able to chat about the local area, support clients to attend local appointments and to continue to enjoy local outings and hobbies. For example clients can enjoy an outing with their Care Professional to Queen’s Park, Chatsworth, or to Dunston Hall Garden Centre. Take a visit to a cafe or restaurant around the town, attend swimming, art classes, exercise classes, music concerts, or Dementia Friendly film screenings at the Winding Wheel Theatre and other local events.
Caring for loved ones can be both emotionally and physically demanding for families. Home Instead Chesterfield can step in not just to provide top-notch care to individuals but also to become an ally for families. Sharing the responsibility of care can alleviate stress, help maintain family dynamics, and ensure that precious time with loved ones is of the highest quality.
Families choose us because they trust in our commitment to make a tangible difference, and we take that responsibility to heart. Being part of the Home Instead family means embracing an approach where compassion, companionship, and respect are as important as the care itself.
